A journey into the soul ( India) Photo Gallery by Anna Pagnacco at pbase.com

A journey into the soul ( India)

I went back to India ,after many years, on April 2006. There are still places and magic moments in India that make the travel become not only a simple tourist experience but "a journey into the soul".

Hi Anna, I'm so glad to discover this gallery. Time pass by so fast that I didn't saw how these gallerie growing. It is hard to find word to describe hoz impressed I am by these colorfoul and very strong (of life) collection of portraits .. I love the way you use your photographic tools to capture the essence of life ... these looks .. I only went once yet to India, I knew I will hve to go back and we even less doubt aftr seing your picture .. however, I will need to progress a little more to be able to capture living portraits like these, get as much complicity as you seem to get (since I can't imagine stealing picture ...) I got a quick glance to other gallerie, I'm glad to see that they are extremely visited which is deserved ... I alos see that I will need to update the link to your photo on my website to this site :-)) take great care of you so that selfishly :-)) we can have more and more pictures for a long long time ...

Arnulf M. Elvevold		29-May-2006 20:43

Guest		29-May-2006 11:55
I already did comment this Gallery. But since then, more pictures have been added and each one is in the same mood, a mood of your own, a lecture how to portrait. You´ve posted great pictures, great Galleries , but here I believe you went deeper then ever in the Art of photography.No chat about technicalities, you are far above those petty details, but the Art of grasp the inner factor of people or things. Ciao jorge
